The bad weather that was expected all week finally decided to show up in full force at 5:26 a.m. Schools were closed. The roads were empty. Yet five men appeared in the downpour, undeterred and ready to embrace the gloom.
After a brief delay to avoid lightning, the PAX moseyed/waded directly to the mountain. For the warmup COP:
- SSH x25
- Hillbillies x25
- Low Slow Squats x25
- Mountain Climbers x25
- Plankjacks x25
Lunge-walk up the base of the mountain and mosey to level 3. There, the PAX did two loops OYO starting at level 3 and working our way up to level 5 (extra points for shortcuts):
- Loop 1: After burpees x7 at level 3, run all the way down the stairs (from level 3) and back up the ramps, stopping at level 3 for burpees x7 and level 4 for merkins x14
- Loop 2: Run all the way down the stairs (from level 4) and back up the ramps, stopping at level 3 for burpees x7, level 4 for merkins x14, and level 5 for IW w/ squats x21
Twenty-count followed by some Mary:
- LBC x30
- Russian Twists x20
- Peter Parkers x25
- Flutter Kicks x25
- Parker Peters x25
- Rosalitas x25
After a ten-count, the PAX (with the exception of one conscientious objector) did an Indian Run down the ramps and then moseyed in the rain to the benches for another COP:
- L-side step-ups x21
- Dips x20
- R-side step-ups x21
- Dips x15
We wrapped things up with some plank-o-rama followed by the count, name-o-rama, shoutouts, and prayers for everyone affected by the storm.
Appreciate the opportunity to lead. Thanks to everyone for coming out despite the weather. I truly expected to show up and then have to quickly drive home after no one showed. Never again will I underestimate the PAX.
